Seems I've got two possibilities for twists in newly manufactured .45 Colt rifles these day: 1 in 26" (Winchester M94) and 1 in 16" (Marlin Cowboy). Is there anyone out there who can explain which will deliver better accuracy?
My goal is to turn the .45 Colt into sort of a Mini-45/70 with 300 to 350 grain plain base bullets, but I also want to shoot the Keiths at 1300 to 1600fps. Also, I'd appreciate knowing if one of the afore mentioned rifles is better suited to the task... in other words, which one has the tightest chamber dimensions, etc.
I don't care about jacketed bullets and commercially purchased cast bullets. Sorry Beartooth fellas, but if I can't pour 'em myself, I'm not havin' fun.
